When designing new dialogs, it takes a lot of work getting the positioning exactly right. It would be nice if there was a way to work this out without constantly quitting and restarting the editor.

Though it could be a separate external tool, I think it would make sense to put it in the scenario editor, as using custom dialogs in a scenario is an eventual goal.

We do have an XSD file that transforms a dialog for previewing in a browser, which used to help… but it hasn't been updated in awhile, and if I recall correctly, it was always a little bit off. I think it would be better to have something that uses the same rendering code.

Finished by bc5f42a? Unless you want to keep it open until it's in the scenario editor.
